Combo Audio Lyrics
It wasn't like movies
In movies they work it out
Laughing at those hearts broken open
You walked in, you threw me out
Sitting in a restaurant by myself
Couldn't leave a tip
Wonder where you are, what you're doing, who you're with
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah
You are your best company
Until you sit by yourself
Call up your best friends and acquaintances
Can't cure dropped lover's emotional health
Sitting in a restaurant by myself
Couldn't leave a tip
Wonder where you are, what you're doing, who you're with
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, two men on the side, oh yeah
It's not losing you
It's just feeling lost
It wasn't like movies
In movies they work it out
Laughing at those hearts broken open
You walked in, you threw me out
Sitting in a restaurant by myself
Couldn't leave a tip
Wonder where you are, what you're doing, who you're with
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide, two men on the side, oh yeah
It's a clear cut case
Romanticide

I spent way too much time at Mabel's and saw much Combo Audio. It was a very special time for local music in Champaign... I miss it so it's nice to find this.

Bought the tape in 1983-4 when I was stationed at Chanute AFB in Rantoul, Illinois. Kick ass group. Wish I could buy a CD now. Good times! Mabels had good acts then.

Came across this song on an Eighties compilation disc years ago. Great tune.
